Anyone already doing a DIY photography zine. Since I'm doing quite a bit (also did self-development and some printing) and got the concepts of how a camera works somehow together, I could contribute. Unless no one wants to do it, then I would have to do a lot more.

If you are carrying your film to someplace like a 1-hour photo shop, then you need to ask them to "Develop Only"--no cutting of the negative and no prints. You have to do the cutting and scanning yourself unless you are lucky enough to have a real photography shop in your town that understands what you are trying to do.<br/><br/>Hope that helps.</div>

Good info, thanks for letting me know. I honestly hadn't considered writing about SLRs in general so maybe I'll give that some thought and add some things. My initial thoughts were to stick with more vintage- and toy-camera subjects with a developing-your-own-film-at-home tutorial, etc.<br />

I like perzines where people get really into discussing different aspects of their lives and struggles they're trying to overcome. Good DIY zines are also really awesome though. I like informative zines, but the last few I've read were really hard to read because they'd been photocopied too many times or the pages were all out of order.
